A Chinese resident was found guilty and ordered to leave the country after being accused of instigating kids in Malawi to yell racist epithets against themselves in Chinese, a language they did not understand. The films of the incidents were afterwards sold on Chinese social networks.
A court judge in the nation’s capital Lilongwe found 27-year-old Lu Ke guilty of enlisting youngsters for racial exploitation and gave him a one-year prison sentence.
Masauko Chamkakala, the attorney general of the nation, stated that Lu Ke, who was detained last year and has already served his 12-month sentence, has seven days to leave Malawi.
He is prohibited from ever entering the nation again.
A child of about nine years old was heard claiming in one of Lu Ke’s videos: “I am a monster with a low IQ.”
Lu Ke asserted that his goal was to introduce Chinese culture to Malawi.
Without giving an exact dollar figure, the public prosecutor claimed that the Chinese national had made monetary reparations to the victims.
After escaping Malawi, he was detained for unlawful entry in June 2022 in Zambia, a neighbour nation, and later deported.
Lu Ke’s acts were denounced by the Chinese embassy in Malawi, which said that “the Chinese government has zero tolerance for racism.”
